Lindsay Lohan, who was once a talented actress with a promising career, is now widely regarded as the epitome of a celebrity disaster. Her many arrests, lengthy stays in rehab, and widespread circulation of mug photographs have turned off a lot of her followers. After reaching the pinnacle of popularity with her performances in films like The Parent Trap, Mean Girls, and Herbi: Fully Loaded, it's hard to believe that Lohan would squander it all. She was arrested for drug possession and driving under the influence, leading to her admission to a secure rehabilitation facility.2. Courtney Love

She had problems with substance abuse and could not recover from the damage to her reputation. She hasn't stopped acting erratically and is now notorious for a string of disturbing tweets and hostile internet behavior. Her odds of making a living as a musician are slim to none.3. Charlie Sheen

Charlie Sheen's smash hit Two, and a Half Men ruled the small screen. He was living the high life, portraying a character not unlike himself (a wealthy playboy who managed to get into some sticky situations with the many ladies in his life) on a popular television show. Sheen's suspected drug difficulties surfaced during their heated exchange with the show's producer, Chuck Lorre. In 2011, he had a public breakdown on camera and called himself a "warlock," which had nothing to do with winning. He also created the trending hashtag #WINNING.4. Macaulay Culkin

Macaulay Culkin played a nice kid who was left alone over the holidays and had to take care of himself in the Home Alone movies.

With his breakthrough role as Kevin McCallister, the young actor cemented his status as a famous child star. Even though he had many options, he chose to use illegal drugs instead, which led to his arrest on multiple counts.5. Britney Spears
